Strip vlan tag on receiving packets (in hardware)

$
0
0

Hi.

 

I want to strip the vlan tags on all receiving 802.1q packets in hardware. I'm using the Intel 82599 10Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and from what I have found out this can be done by modifying bits, like RXDCTL.VME. Is this correct? If so, where can I find the header files containing the bits I need to modify on my Ubuntu (I'm guessing on a default location)?

 

Or can this be done using IPMI?

 

 

All help appreciated.


Intel 82567V-2 Windows 10 WOL

Hi all,

 

I wanted to get some info regarding an Intel 82567V-2 onboard NIC and WOL in Win 10. Currently the NIC is using the MS driver in Win 10 as there is no official Intel driver available. I want to enable WOL which I have enabled in the mobo BIOS, and also have the Allow Magic Packet option turned on in the NIC's power management settings. However, there is no WOL option in the advanced tab for the NIC. I cant get WOL to work at all, Im using the Aquila WOL app. Has anyone setup WOL on this adapter using the MS driver in Win 10 and got it working? Thanks!

Hello,

 

We encounter an issue with the WOL fonctionnality and 802.1X using computer based authentication.(Intel Ethernet Connection I218-LM -  Wake Up issues) Message #4

 

When Computer is waking up from sleep, the Windows Native supplicant is sending the wrong user (normally it's the computer name). The supplicant is sending mac adress (Network Card is doing mab insteed of 802.1X) :

 

Dec  3 14:20:16: RADIUS:  authenticator 4C B5 F0 2E 73 78 D1 C0 - 9B 01 23 6F 02 14 59 49

Dec  3 14:20:16: RADIUS:  User-Name           [1]   14  "3417ebxxxxxx"

Dec  3 14:20:16: RADIUS:  User-Password       [2]   18  *

 

When I completly disable WOL on the network card, authentication is working perfectly when waking up from sleep :

 

Dec  3 14:22:49: RADIUS:  User-Name           [1]   30  "host/MASS1.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Dec  3 14:22:49: RADIUS:  Service-Type        [6]   6   Framed                    [2]

Dec  3 14:22:49: RADIUS:  Vendor, Cisco       [26]  27

 

 

We need to let the WOL fonctionnality activated, does anyone have an idea ?

Hi,

 

I newly own an ASUS Z170-A Mainboard and the Intel Network Driver for the I219-V Adapter causes the Machine to crash regularly.

By uninstalling the Driver, the Computer runs stable over 2 Days.

 

With the driver installed, the crashes occur latest after about 2 Hours.

 

The rest of the components are:

Intel Core i7-6700 CPU

Samsung SSD 840 Pro (250GB)

Crucial 16GB 2 DIMM Kit (CL15)

Corsair 650 W Power Supply

Seagate ST3000DM002-1BJ166 3 TB HDD

 

For now, the system is of no use for me, since it's only stable when offline.

And searching the net, I am by far not the only one having this problem.

 

Please update driver soon.

intel i219-V (Asrock Z170 Pro4S) performance on windows 10

$

Hi,

 

 

I am having problems with my network performance.

 

If i leave it's speed at auto negotiation it works on 10 mbps.

 

if i set it manually on 100 mbps? download works nice but upload is as low as 0.03 mbps or it doesnt work at all, i think depending on driver i use (i checked one from intel and one from Asrock site).

 

 

I didnt have any problems prior to upgrading my os to windows 10 and another computer in the network works fine with download of arouind 100 mbps and upload around 40-60 (like it should be).

 

 

Any help please? If you need any addtional data regarding drivers or anything that could help identify problems just ask i will provide them ASAP.

 

 

Best regards,


Updating NIC drivers on Hyper-V 2012 R2

I'm trying to update the I350-T2 NIC drivers on my Hyper-V host.  I have a separate Broadcom NIC built into the motherboard used for management.  Both ports of the I350-T have SR-IOV enabled and are only used for the virtual machines.
When I run the ProWinx64.exe, I get the following error message:
Intel PROSet is configured with a device, team, or VLAN that is bound to a virtual NIC.  Intel PROSet cannot be uninstalled with this configuration.  Please remove the virtual NIC and then attempt the uninstall or upgrade again.
The closest documentation of this issue I could find is this:
I am unable to set the virtual NIC to 'internal only' - that option is disabled in Hyper-V.
I tried using pnputil.exe with Intel Ethernet Connections CD 20.4.1 and a reboot.  But that didn't work either.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

XL710 VLAN tag stripping in a VF.

$
0
0

I have an XL710 VSI that is running in a VF. I have added a vlan filter for a tag of '2' to my vsi using the I40E_VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_VLAN message. The vsi is the default one created by the PF driver when the VF is created. When an appropriately tagged frame is sent to the VF (eg a ping with vlan tag '2'), the receive descriptor shows the tag correctly in the L2TAG1 field and the L2TAG1P bit is set. I want the vlan tag to be stripped from the frame. However it is not. A dump of the vsi shows the port_vlan_flags field (which was created from the ADD_VSI command) to contain 0x3. This would seem to equate to byte 12, bits 0:4 of the VLAN handling section of ADD_VSI command (see 7.4.9.5.4.1 Table 7-80 of the Datasheet). 0x3 indicates

0:1 = 3 - allow all packets

3:4 = 0 - show VLAN, DEI and UP in descriptor

 

Is there something more I need to do to achieve stripping on the tag?

I217-LM - no RSS possible under Win 8.1 Pro x64 - driver setting without effect

$

Hi,

 

I'm using an ASRock Rack EPC612D8A-TB motherboard with two Intel onboard NICs (I210 (Ethernet 2) and I217-LM (Ethernet)), running Win 8.1 Pro x64 with all Windows Updates installed and the latest Intel Ethernet driver package (20.2.3001.0). My problem is with the I217-LM, according to the Intel spec sheet it does support RSS (cp. figure on page 2).

In the I217-LM's advanced driver settings there is an option to enable and disable RSS. However Windows itself always says that the I217-LM is not RSS-capable.

i217-lm-no-rss-womac.png

The same option in the I210 driver options has the expected effect: With the PowerShell command get-SmbClientNetworkInterface you can see the RSS capability changing from True to False and vice versa.

 

Can anyone tell why the I217-LM is not getting the RSS feature?

 

Further system details:
CPU: Xeon E5-1620-V3

RAM: 2 x 16 GiB Crucial DDR4-2133 ECC

The motherboard does not have a later BIOS/UEFI release than the one installed.

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Can't see Intel x710 FCoE device after ProSET installation

We recently purchased an Intel X710-DA2 Converged Network Adapter to provide both 10G network and FCoE connectivity to Cisco Nexus 5000 switches. This is installed in an Intel Server System S2600GZ server running Windows 2012 (non-R2).

 

The Intel drivers and ProSET were installed from the v20.2 drivers CD, however there was no option as described in the documentation to select FCoE.

 

Do I need to enable the boot ROM, even though we do not want to boot from SAN, to enable FCoE? If so, where do I find the BootUtil for Windows 2012?

 

Thanks


XL710-QDA2(40G)-H/W Time Stamp Features...

$

Hi,

It is regarding H/W Time Stamping features of XL710 40G NIC.

We are going to use XL710-QDA2(40G)  MOQ  - Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter Dual Port Network Adapter.

We have a requirement that each RX packet(All Traffic) should be appended with H/W Time Stamp. Is it possible with this model?

From the DATA sheet, my understanding is it support IEEE 1588/PTP Time Synchronization and there is no support "Per-Packet Time Stamp" feature.

 

Here are my queries:

================

1. Is XL710 NIC supports Per-Packet H/W Time Stmaping(All RX Packets should be time stamped)?

2. In case if XL710 not supporting Per-Packet Time Stamp, is there any other mechanism/way to achieve the same from H/W level?

 

Pleas help me if in this regard.

 

Regards,

suresh.


DPC Latency problems with Intel 82579LM based Network Controller on Windows 8

$

Hi,

 

After weeks of troubleshooting DPC latency problems on my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 laptop which were causing audio dropouts and mouse freezes every few mins I have finally tracked down the source of the issue. It appears that the Intel 82579LM based Network Controller driver may not be correctly optimised for Windows 8. I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and am using the latest Intel driver for the controller (12.6.45.0). In troubleshooting the issue I tried everything I could think of such as:

 

Update BIOS and all drivers to latest versions

Disable CPU and PCI Power Management in BIOS

Disabled onboard Sound (I use a separate professional audio sound card), Wifi, Bluetooth

Change power management settings to High Performance and Disabled USB selective suspend

Turn on all offloading settings on Ethernet NIC

Ran bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes

Disabling Network Location Awareness in Windows

 

Nothing made any noticable difference at all. I had also been noticing that my network performance had been pretty poor intermittently on this machine for a while, occasionally experiencing dropouts and low download speeds (yes I know that can be caused by many other factors but please hear me out). Every few mins on the PC I would experience a DPC latency spike of around 95000us to 100000us which would occur right when the audio dropouts, mouse freezes, and probably network pauses would occur. I use the PC for audio production amongst other things so this causes me big issues.

 

I was totally baffled by the problem until I ran an xperf trace in the Windows Performance Toolkit and saw that the spike was being generated from ndis.sys and tcpip.sys. That got me thinking down the lines of a network related problem so I disabled the onboard Intel(R) 82579LM based Network Controller in Device Manager in Windows 8 and what do you know the problem disappeared competely!!  No more DPC latency spikes ever (tested for hours and many times). I can do pretty much whatever I like on the PC and the problem does not reoccur. Not one single audio dropout in my Audio DAW either. The onboard Wifi is still running (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 - v15.8.0.5) providing me with network access and download speeds through the wireless nic are both much faster and more stable surprisingly (should be the other way around if anything). As soon as I re-enable the 82579LM NIC the problem is immediately back within a few mins.

 

I am desperate to get this fixed as I cannot use wireless all of the time. Intel can you please fix the 82579LM driver to make it fully compatible with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. I'm sure many other people out there are having the same issue and just don't know the cause, or put up with it it as real time applications such as audio are less important to them. I have read about other people having these issues and it only appears to be with Windows 8. I think the drivers are fine for Windows 7, although I haven't confirmed this for sure.

 

Intel please consider patching the 82579LM NIC driver ASAP for full Windows 8 support. I can assist in providing you information if you require as I'm very keen to get this sorted.

 

Thanks,

Brad

The CPU I have is a i7 4790K and yet, the RSS queues it allows is 1 or 2. The MB has an inbuilt Killer 2200 and

when using it, it allowed 4 queues, is there a way to alter this setting? Please.

Hello friends,

I have purchased a bunch of pro 1000 Mt nic recently.   When transferring large files, the connection is smooth.  When transfering a number of smaller files, such as doc or JPG, the connection would drop after a few minutes , I.e. not pingable.  If I unplug and plug the network cables, the connection would be restored.  Has anyone encountered such issue before ? thanks
